-----------------------------+--------------------------
 Noticed in trunk (and later reproduced in 3.4.2) that if a parent theme
 has a page template in the theme root, it will always override a like-
 named page template in the child theme, regardless of whether it's in the
 root or a sub-directory.

 To reproduce:
 1. Create a page template with the Template Name: X in the root of a
 parent theme.
 2. Create a page template also with Template Name: X in either the root or
 a sub-directory of that parent's child theme.
 3. Assign the page template to a page and view on the front-end.
 4. The parent template (if in the root theme directory) will always
 overrule the child theme page template whether in the child root or not.
